Glendale police are looking for an attacker or attackers who tried to sexually assault two women during separate incidents at the same apartment complex near 47th and Maryland avenues last week.

The women gave similar descriptions of their attacker: a man between the ages of 19 and 25, nearly 6 feet tall, with short black hair and of Hispanic or Indian origin, a police report stated.

Police said the first assault occurred 1 a.m. on Aug. 20, when a 20-year-old woman was coming back from walking her friend out of the apartment complex in the 4700 block of West West Sierra Vista Drive.

The woman reported being pulled down onto the gravel from behind by a man who attempted to sexually assault her, but she was able to fight off the man and escape, police said.

Three days later, a 23-year-old woman said she was returning home from work just before 5:30 a.m. when she was pulled onto the gravel from behind and attacked, police said.

Two male neighbors came out of their apartment and chased the man off, police said.

Glendale police currently have no leads on who assaulted these two women but are asking the community for help to identify the man or men involved.

Police urge anyone with information to call the Glendale Police Department at 623-930-3000 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.
